The alleged “worst-kept secret” in film circles? That the next James Bond will be played by none other than 35-year-old British actor Callum Turner – a man who’s been flying around the world on an endless summer holiday with his pop star fiancée Dua Lipa of late, and who resembles the thinking person’s hunk du jour Josh O’Connor, if you squint a bit.
Over the weekend, an unverified report in the Daily Mail claimed that Turner had been “blabbing all over town” that he’s been cast as 007, and that “everyone in his circle is talking about it”. They also added that Lipa is being lined up to record the theme song for her boyfriend’s Bond debut, a prospect so wincingly cute that it can’t possibly be true, surely?
